It turned out the reason is that devel/libpeas does not include the loaders:
....
(liferea:11173): libpeas-WARNING **: 12:34:25.653: Failed to load
module 'python3loader': Cannot open
"/usr/pkg/lib/libpeas-1.0/loaders/libpython3loader.so"
....

even if I added CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --enable-introspection to the Makefile.

I tried to mess with libpeas, but I can't get it to build the loaders,
even when enabling them in the Makefile, which contains:
...
# XXX: revisit at later date if something needs this
...
and disables the loaders; I guess the maintainer should do just that,
as plugins are disabled for other programs using them, i.e. gedit:

...
(gedit:12666): libpeas-WARNING **: 12:37:09.554: Failed to load module
'python3loader': Cannot open
"/usr/pkg/lib/libpeas-1.0/loaders/libpython3loader.so"

(gedit:12666): libpeas-WARNING **: 12:37:09.554: Could not load plugin
loader 'python3'
...

A pr perhaps...
